Here I was thinking the empire was for greed...silly me...

I'm British btw, and my own opinion is that the empire was a disgrace, because it involved, as all empries do, lots of oppresion, murdering, plundering...there's a nice Balckadder quote actually when Blackadder explains why Wolrd War One statred which I like:

George: "The War started, Baldrick, because of the Villanous Hun and his evil Empire building! THAT'S why!"

Blackadder: "George, the Britihs Empire at present covers 1/4 of the golbe. The German Empire consists of a small sausage facotyr in Tahiti. I hardly think we're ones to blame others for imperialistic tendancies."

George: "Why, yes, sir, of ocurse, sir." [To Baldrick, quietly:] "He's gone absolutely bonkers!"
